Book Review by Cassidy B. : Make Lemonade by Virginna Euwer Wolff


Make Lemonade is the story of LaVaughn who is raising money to go to college.  LaVaughn is determined to be the first in her building to earn a college degree.  To save money she starts to babysit for 17-year-old mom Jolly who has dropped out of high school and has no family to back her up.  LaVaughn babysits Jeremy and Jilly who have different fathers both of whom have left Jolly.  This is a story about struggle and  determination and I would highly reccomend it to anyone.

On the way he battles dragons and meets trolls before returning and freeing himself and Lucy, and then returning home to his parents and the magician. The Sea of Trolls is a very good read.
